Be an encourager, the world has
plenty of critics already!
How’s your weekend been? Did you have a good one, did you stay on
track? If you did fantastic – give yourself a round of applause and a pat on
the back. If it didn’t give yourself a
break, then work out your next step! How
will you motivate yourself to get back on track?
Remind yourself why you started Weight Watchers in the first place, what were your reasons, they’ve not changed I’m guessing! Most importantly don’t give up, having the occasional weight gain isn’t a problem, it’s how you deal with it that counts. Rather than thinking of I’ve blown the weekend, I may as well wait till weigh day to restart, why not decide to plan your meals to ensure you get back on track, complete that tracker, use this motivational tick sheet to help;
Can’t beat a refresher course, back to basics, for
monthly pass holidays on the Weight Watchers website, under ‘Tools’ there are
videos explaining the programme “simple start explained”
and another explaining “flex”
Why not download the Simple Start app if you haven’t
already.
Giving Up is NOT AN OPTION!
Sometimes it can all see overwhelming, you might feel
that you have too much going on in your life to concern yourself with another
thing i.e. weight loss, yet think about it (and I’m doing this blog for myself
to be honest not just those reading it!)
You have to eat every day – so why not make it a healthy choice?
You have to shop for food – so why not take a list and
make it easier?
There will always only be 24 hours in a day so why not
make time for yourself to maybe take a walk to lift your spirits and give
yourself a boost.
Oh but if I do those things, everything else won’t get
done!
Mmm that crossed my mind too, but think about it, in 5
years time will you benefit more from a healthy diet or from the fact you hovered
the living room?
Will you be remembered for being that lady with a tidy
house or that lady who smiled a lot and seemed happy with her lot?
I’ve spent the best part of this year looking for my
motivation, trying to get “on it”, life has persisted in throwing things at me
to complicate that, well bring it on I say.
Apparently I can’t change the things life is throwing at
me, I can only choose how I react to them and I’ve decided I’m not going to let
them interfere with my mission to lose weight.
My weight has fluctuated by 5lb either side of the same weight for over
a year and until lately I’ve been ok with that, yet I’m noticing my body shape
has changed a bit so now I’m ready to get rid of some of those pounds.
I know I’ve said similar before about losing weight but
guess what, I’m a woman – we’re fickle!
Tomorrow I might say, oh it doesn’t matter! I might not!
One thing that’s always consistent with me is my desire to be Healthy and
Happy and to appreciate that we are all BeYOUtiful and should Eat Gorgeous
because we’re worth the effort.
So today I track, I follow the plan 100% not 80% like I
have been doing, because 80% means maintaining at a weight I no longer won’t to
be, I want it to be lower on the scales.
I have no holiday to get it off for, I have no special
event that I want to be slimmer for, nope this time I’m doing it for doing its
sake! I want to be under that stone
bracket – just because…..
